Kuhn By MARY LYNN BRENNAN* I Introduction Sports reporting, long the province of male writers, is a major field of journalism that is now beginning to open up to women.2 But getting the job as a sportswriter is only half the battle. When sports teams deny women writers equal access to their locker rooms for post-game interviews, they deny wo- men an equal chance to compete with their male counterparts. In response to being barred from the New York Yankees locker room during the 1977 World Series, Melissa Ludtke, a sportswriter for Sports Illustrated, and its publisher, Time, Inc., brought a suit against the New York Yankees, Major League Baseball, and the City of New York.3 The 1978 suit, filed in the Southern District Court of New York, claimed that the New York Yankees were violating Ms.

    ABSTRACT No Women in the Press Box: A Case Study to Compare the Experience of Women in Print Sports Journalism from the 1980s and 2000s Chelsea Erin Quackenbush, M.A. Thesis Chairperson: Douglas R. Ferdon, Ph.D. This case study examines women sports writers in the 1980s and 2000s. The purpose of the study was to describe the perceptions of women sports writers’ in relationship to their professional and personal experiences in sports journalism, and how the field has changed in terms of gender relations, sexual harassment, and gender discrimination. Participants agreed that men and women are equal in terms of job duties, and they do not experience discrimination and harassment in the field. There is still progress to be made in terms of the number of women in sports journalism.

Contact Info: [email protected]; [email protected]; 917.710.1660 Course Description Students will gain an understanding of visual journalism through theory and practical application while exploring current and emerging story forms.

Ethical, legal and social issues affecting visual journalists will be discussed. We will take a practical, hands-on approach in this class. An introduction to photo, audio and video editing software will be provided. A modern mobile device or tablet device with a camera such as the iPhone 7 Plus or Samsung Galaxy S8, will be used as a primary content gathering device in the class. The device, mobile apps (shooting, editing and special purpose) and additional equipment are also major topics addressed during the course.

  • Photojournalism Photojournalism
    Photojournalism For this section, we'll be looking at photojournalism's impact on shaping people's opinions of the news & world events. Photojournalism From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Photojournalism is a particular form of journalism (the collecting, editing, and presenting of news material for publication or broadcast) that employs images in order to tell a news story. It is now usually understood to refer only to still images, but in some cases the term also refers to video used in broadcast journalism. Photojournalism is distinguished from other close branches of photography (e.g., documentary photography, social documentary photography, street photography or celebrity photography) by complying with a rigid ethical framework which demands that the work be both honest and impartial whilst telling the story in strictly journalistic terms. Photojournalists create pictures that contribute to the news media, and help communities connect with one other. Photojournalists must be well informed and knowledgeable about events happening right outside their door. They deliver news in a creative format that is not only informative, but also entertaining. Timeliness The images have meaning in the context of a recently published record of events. Objectivity The situation implied by the images is a fair and accurate representation of the events they depict in both content and tone. Narrative The images combine with other news elements to make facts relatable to audiences. Like a writer, a photojournalist is a reporter, but he or she must often make decisions instantly and carry photographic equipment, often while exposed to significant obstacles (e.g., physical danger, weather, crowds, physical access).

  • How to Fund Investigative Journalism Insights from the Field and Its Key Donors Imprint
    EDITION DW AKADEMIE | 2019 How to fund investigative journalism Insights from the field and its key donors Imprint PUBLISHER RESPONSIBLE PUBLISHED Deutsche Welle Jan Lublinski September 2019 53110 Bonn Carsten von Nahmen Germany © DW Akademie EDITORS AUTHOR Petra Aldenrath Sameer Padania Nadine Jurrat How to fund investigative journalism Insights from the field and its key donors Sameer Padania ABOUT THE REPORT About the report This report is designed to give funders a succinct and accessible introduction to the practice of funding investigative journalism around the world, via major contemporary debates, trends and challenges in the field. It is part of a series from DW Akademie looking at practices, challenges and futures of investigative journalism (IJ) around the world. The paper is intended as a stepping stone, or a springboard, for those who know little about investigative journalism, but who would like to know more. It is not a defense, a mapping or a history of the field, either globally or regionally; nor is it a description of or guide to how to conduct investigations or an examination of investigative techniques. These are widely available in other areas and (to some extent) in other languages already. Rooted in 17 in-depth expert interviews and wide-ranging desk research, this report sets out big-picture challenges and oppor- tunities facing the IJ field both in general, and in specific regions of the world. It provides donors with an overview of the main ways this often precarious field is financed in newsrooms and units large and small. Finally it provides high-level practical ad- vice — from experienced donors and the IJ field — to help new, prospective or curious donors to the field to find out how to get started, and what is important to do, and not to do.

  • Telegraph Media Group
    Competition & Markets Authority Market study interim report - Online platforms and digital advertising Response to Key Questions INTRODUCTION Telegraph Media Group (TMG) – publisher of The Daily Telegraph, The Sunday Telegraph, telegraph.co.uk and other digital products - is a leading provider of high quality journalism in the UK and globally. Our stories and investigations – including such ground-breaking work as the MPs’ expenses scandal - play a vital role in driving content across the media. Like other news publishers, Google and Facebook are the most important digital platforms for our business. However, the internet and the availability of news on these platforms has changed consumer habits, and such change has brought a decline in circulation and advertising revenues in a way which has put huge pressure on revenues and profitability, and therefore longer term sustainability. CMA Recommendations We are generally in agreement with the CMA’s findings and recommendations, but have some reservations. We strongly support the development and implementation of a code of conduct. However, we have concerns that a UK-only based code of conduct, even if backed by robust enforcement measures, may not be adequate in itself to provide an effective remedy. Platforms operate across multiple countries and can take advantage of jurisdictional fragmentation, and whilst we acknowledge the innovation and technical benefits that vertical integration brings to the market, we are concerned about the conflict of interest created and associated self-preferencing behaviour. For these reasons, we believe that ownership separation of SSP and DSP services is required. However, in order to minimise disruption and address challenges such as increased latency, friction and sub-optimal user experiences and so forth, separation must be underpinned by the implementation of transparency and interoperability requirements, and a data sharing framework.

The faces of true Kittitians, including on-island partners, feature in all five promotional videos now attracting a high viewership on the Telegraph website. In the fifth video, Alister Williams, Director of the St. Kitts Music Festival, takes Telegraph viewers out and about in the historic capital of Basseterre viewing its unique architecture, bustling streets and stalls offering exquisitely made jewellery and pottery. Beach culture also comes to life, where visitors have an opportunity to ‘meet the locals’, enjoy local music or simply take part in numerous beach activities, while the thrills of the zip-line flying over breathtaking views of this beautiful unspoilt island are ably illustrated by Superman of Sky Safaris.
